Drove past Junction Oval this morning and saw a group of players training.

The only one I could pick up was Jonesy, as his bald head was shinning in the light :D

The players might be going through some testing before the official pre-season start on Wednesday.

Have been for a short while, a small group of players hard at it.

cant wait to find out and see which players have spent the most time in the gym or out on the pitch

I can't wait to see the players who have spent the most time in the pub and out at KFC. They'll be in for a rude shock, if anyone heard Bailey's speech at the B & F.

just in from MELBOURNEfc Members' Email

2008 begins

The Club’s 2008 campaign starts tomorrow, with players commencing pre-season training with a conditioning and skills session at Junction Oval. It will be Dean Bailey’s first training session as senior coach, while new recruit John Meesen will take part in his first training session at the Club after recently being traded to MELBOURNEfc from Adelaide. The session will start at 9.30 am and all members are welcome.

I'd love to watch the first one but as I'm not in Vic I'll be missing out

If anyone goes can they post a little about the session?

cheers

I'm tempted to football-nerd it up and pop down for a shifty. I'm on Swot-Vac atm and don't have any exams till the 15th, so I have plenty of time on my hands.

Yes we interstaters sure appreciate the reports and pics that you guys can give us over summer.

If it wasn't for them I think I would go mad.

Haha Coxy don't tell me you don't have your license...

Yeah I guess I could do that. We can be the Demonland paparazzi and report who's been in the gym and who's been on the gin. PM me your address if you're genuinely keen mate. Would be better to go with somebody else rather than standing around like a loner anyway.

We better get some quality pictures.... and by quality I mean close-ups of players who have worked particularly hard over their break :D

Damn you and your free time! :(

Haha Jaded it shouldn't be free. But by nature I procrastinate. At least I needn't feel too bad about it this time with loads of time before exams.

I'll see if I can get Dean Bailey to pose with Coxy for you; hot :wub:

The thought of getting that photo will get me through the practice exams and editing of a 30,000 word report tomorrow. :wacko::lol:

Now you can understand why I am jealous that you get to go to training tomorrow while I get to spend yet another day swearing at my computer.

I noted with interest that Pettard appears much bigger in his picture in China. Did anyone else notice this?

I might as well get down there. Exams finished today.

I thought so, he looked much older or something, too. Broader? Not so much the skinny kid, he looked like he'd put on shoulders since the last time I saw him!

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
